Liberation at home and in the world: The Roots of Liberation & Freedom Work in Hoodoo & Conjure

What is the worth of freedom if it comes without liberation from the grinding wheel of oppression? How can those caught between the rock and the hard place by their enemies or people that wish them harm obtain liberation not just by the means of law and society but by acts of magic and conjuration? What can you do when it seems there simply is no justice left in this tired old world? You can join us as Doctor Beverley takes us through the quest for liberation and justice by use of traditional hoodoo and Southern folk conjure. From the Graveyard to The Crossroads and all points in between Doctor Beverley will be teaching and discussing Liberation Magics and how they can and do interact with Liberation thought and politics. From foot track magic to bring a taken person back, and the wings of Lady Liberty on a silver dime, from the ethics and morals of justified cursing, dirts and powders, doll babies, jar spells, tying and binding, to the history, learn the needs and means of dealing with those people and systems that would continue to deny liberation and true freedom. Leave a faint heart at home and be ready to take notes when Doctor Beverley teaches how to lay it down and get it done.
